Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri was not happy with his side's 2-1 defeat to Verona on Saturday, claiming that the Italian giants deserve their current lowly league position.
A Gio Simeone double condemned Juve to their fourth defeat in 11 games, with Weston McKennie pulling back a late consolation for the visitors.
That result leaves Allegri's men languishing in ninth place, a position which the coach believes reflects their current performance level.
“Words are meaningless right now. We’re in a bad situation, we have to accept the reality that right now we are a mid-table team. We can get out of this situation with a little more determination and quality,” Allegri told DAZN after the final whistle.
“We will drag ourselves out of this situation. There’s no point feeling sorry for ourselves, that won’t help. We just need to focus on what we need to do and then things will sort themselves out.”
